1 Answers
It is normal for the hazard warning flasher to blink when turned on. Below are the situations when the hazard warning flasher should be activated: 1. When the vehicle breaks down: If the vehicle cannot be moved to a safe area promptly, the hazard warning flasher should be turned on immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety, and the authorities should be notified while waiting for assistance. 2. Breakdown on the highway: The vehicle should be parked in the emergency stopping lane, the hazard warning flasher should be turned on promptly, and a hazard warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle before quickly notifying the authorities. 3. When towing a faulty vehicle: Since the vehicle is in an abnormal state, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should activate the hazard warning flashers simultaneously to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians. 4. Sudden heavy rain while driving: The hazard warning flasher should be turned on immediately to alert passing vehicles and pedestrians for safety and draw attention. 5. Transporting critically ill patients: When rushing to transport critically ill patients, the headlights should be turned on immediately along with the hazard warning flasher, and the horn should be used appropriately, with a clearly visible special sign displayed outside the vehicle.
